NHL 2022/23 Season

Devils were favored to win this series. Are you saying that after seeing the first two games or after the last 3?

Rangers need to play like they did in the first two otherwise they are out.

FROWNY RANGERS FACE

Dang, Florida

Listening to the talking heads and watching the broadcasts, one would think the Rangers should have won the series already. I live in the NY Metro area, so almost nobody picked the Devils.

The announcers on ABC and ESPN can't even pronounce the Devil player's names right, or even call out the right goaltender in net. I blame Bettman for saying NY Metro area doesn't need 3 NHL teams.

I'm really getting sick of seeing that 5-1 scoreline.

Also: Nice to see the Leafs win a series.

The Maple Leafs... advance? Am I reading that right?

It has been a long time since those words have been written in that sequence, but it's true!

I'm very much looking forward to my dear Leafs losing to Tampa again, probably in 7, again.

Clearly I'm living in the universe where the Flash saves his parents.

LOL, f*ck me, Boston blew it. The President's Trophy Curse continues.

to the team that blew it last year

THE KRAKEN AWAKEN

Game 7's are fun!

Every time Kenny Albert called "Grubauer" I kept hearing Boomhauer.

What a great playoffs this year has been and it's only the first round.

Rangers, what a pathetic game 7. Ugh

...is best rangers face.

I typed my previous comment before watching the game 7 last night. Good for the Devils, but I didn't think either team looked particularly good. If I were the Canes, I'd be licking my lips.

Leafs leafin' it up against the Cats. le sigh

Bob's been playing great, though, so I still think we have a chance if we can break him. (yes, I know I'm teeing up the "narrator: they didn't have a chance" joke)

I don't ever cheer for Vegas, but for once, our interests were in alignment.

Worse than Scott Stevens?

We were so close to 5th overtime!

Maybe next time.

Is EVERYONE in the east going to sh*t their pants against Florida this year? It appears so!

Also, if f*cking FLORIDA wins a Stanley cup before Canada wins another one, you gotta forfeit the sport, them's the rules.

(Yes, I know Tampa has won a few already, but this is Miami we're talking about.)

So.

That Tkachuk trade is the best in Panthers history, and probably the best in the last decade of hockey, yes?

Wow I'm rooting for the Knights? Really?

Don't do it.

Is this just a Stanly Cup so Canadians can take a state-side vacation? Just fly between Miami and Vegas? No matter who wins, rich Canadians win!

The way they're winning, Panthers in 6. They just very much have that "team of destiny" vibe about them.

Well, they went from winning in 7 to winning in 5 to winning in 4, so my guess is they find a way to beat Vegas in 3.
